Coffee discussion

[The Black Forrest]

I've lost faith in the general populace when it comes to coffee consumption. I work in the coffee industry (as a barista) and the amount of sugar I've seen myself put into beverages should probably be classified as poison. I swear I've given hundreds of people a drink that could probably give both type 1 and 2 diabetes just from the taste alone. No one wants that bitter taste anymore, I essentially make desert drinks with a coffee hue.

a tragedy has befallen across mankind.

Ohhh you work at Starbucks. Yea they do like giving out the sugar bombs. When I use them. I usually reduce the sugar by 2/3s.

They basically do it to cover their mediocre coffee. Tried their drips at home and found there really wasn't that much of a distinguishing taste between the different varieties of coffee.....

Especially in the US. I don’t know what it is with Starbucks coffee over here. It’s appalling, imo and you do have to douse it in sweeteners to make it palatable.

i heard brown makes it taste more like cinnamon

Can’t say it tastes like that to me.

Brown sugar? Isn’t that a little too sweet? What’s it taste like?

I don’t think it is, but I’ve been using brown sugar as a sweetener for certain drinks since a child so maybe I’m just used to it. It’s less processed than white though.

I find it mild, rich and it blends seamlessly with the coffee. No bad aftertaste.

I will have to give it a try. I normally don't add sugar to my drinks.

Do you grind your own beans? That helps bring out the subtle flavors when its super fresh.

I always grind the beans. I'm really good at bean grinding.

This is why I almost always make coffee at home.

And I like the more bitter taste,

I do. With other merchants you definitely can tell the difference. Starbucks almost seem to be using the same bean and calling it something else. Not sure how they do it.....

You can develop certain diseases like diabetes, even if you’re young. Just saying.

The times I’ve used creamer (and I seldom do), I like to add a dash of cinnamon to it. It gives it a nice taste too.

Oh that’s pretty bad. I speak from authority as I once worked at a trucking company. Ever had trucker coffee?

Half a splenda is enough.

For me; a pinch was too much.

Trucker coffee is where you take a pot that had been left on and the coffee burned. They usually leave a tar mess at the bottom.

You take that pot and make a new batch. Once it’s finished you stir what’s left of the tar and mix it into the coffee.

RedBull is for wimps.

Long haul guys tended to drink that abomination.

I tried it once and man I was twitchy for awhile.
